You will need to proceed down the path to the right of the Merchant, where you’ll enter a small village where you’ll encounter multiple infected villagers eager to attack you. We recommend taking them out before looking for the hexagon key, but you’re in the correct spot. You’ll need to run around this area to eliminate all the villages. Once you’ve done this, go to the building at the center.

The hexagon key is on the top of this building. When you reach the top, interact with the small device, and you’ll pull the hexagon key from where it was hanging. Now, you need to escape this part of the village. There should be a lock on the right ramps of the gate that you can use to unlock, and proceed back to the factory.

When you arrive, interact with the hexagon-shape, and alter the insignia to mirror the outline on the key. Once you have mirrored, flip the hexagon shape over, and you can align the key into the lock and proceed forward.
